Muse: Supermassive Black Hole
Muse is one of my favorite bands. Their lyrics are awesome, the guitar playing is just divine, and the drums are amazing. But this time around, I lost a ton of respect for them when they allowed Supermassive Black Hole on the Twilight soundtrack. I mean, sure, they opened …
Busta Rhymes - The Body Rock (song)
“The Body Rock” appears off of Busta Rhymes album When Disaster Strikes. It is the 17th track off of the absolute stellar album, often criticized as being his best. This is kind of crazy considering that there are 19 tracks all together. It’s nearly impossible to release such a …

The Cranberries - Wake Up And Smell The Coffee (2001)
Wake Up, or better said, Bury The Hatchet Part Two, pretty much follows the exact same pattern as the previous record. I mean, even the covers are almost the same, that blue background, the same design, and obviously the same cover-artist. Most of the fans consider this album to …

Magic and Mayhen; by the Coral
This album continues where the last one left off. The Coral continue their slightly tinny sounding, modern pastiche of sixties music, which works a treat. I loved it from the first song ‘In the Forest’, right through to the last, every songs a winner. Slightly darker …
Speak Now album by Taylor Swift

N-Dubz - Playing With Fire - Single
I have to admit that N-Dubz make me laugh both with their behaviour and their dress sense but the more I hear their music the more I appreciate what they do and it’s mad to think that such good music can come from this band but they do it.
Playing …

Singer Avril Lavigne
I am not personally a big fan of Avril Lavigne, I don’t enjoy the way she jumps from ‘punk rock princess’ to ‘pop queen’ every ten minutes, it gets annoying after a while. She should stick to the genre in which she is best at, that being new age …
H20 Solitudes CD 2008
I first heard this CD playing on a machine in a gift shop at callaway Gardens. It is a relaxing ambient type of cd, but melodic and not completely random sounds like some relaxation works are. These songs are performed by Chris Phillips, and is one in the line of …
Katatonia The Great Cold Distance CD
Katatonia is a great band. They always have been. The actual music of the band is complex, inventive and catchy, all without being “sold out” or “poppy”. “The Great Cold Distance” is no exception. The instrumentation is complex, edgy, hard and very evolved from their previous works. There is …

Overview —“ Painkiller, the 12th album released by Judas Priest, is surprisingly one of my favorite albums ever released by them. I said surprisingly because generally, by a band’s 12th album they really aren’t very good anymore, or at least they’re not all that great, but something about this …

“Can I See You In The Morning” by The Jackson 5
I love this song so much! I think it is so perfect. Since the beginning, it has a different appeal to me. It has a different feel. It’s so 1970’s but it’s so different. It feels like a song you can listen in the morning, in the evening, anytime …
